 * Would it be possible to add the excerpt to the Bluesky post? Maybe other options
   to change the content?
 * Also: an option to remove the manual box from the posts page would be appreciated.

 * Hi [@vespino](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vespino/), thanks for using
   Autoblue! There’s a `autoblue/share_message` filter that gets the `$message` 
   and `$post_id` as parameters. You could use that to use the excerpt as the shared
   post, would that work?
 * I can look at hiding the manual box. What is the use case if I may ask?

 * Thanks, I’ll take a look and see if I can get it to work. What is the default/
   current message? Permalink only?
 * The idea of hiding the box on the edit page is to not offer the option for manual
   posting and thus only the automated version at the time of publishing.

 * The default message is no message at all. Bluesky treats the link to the post
   separately from the message, so if you don’t add a message it will just show 
   the link to the post (with the preview, so post title and featured image).
 * I’ll see if I can add a filter to hide the box. To be clear, would you want to
   hide just the message box or the whole Autoblue section?
